KERGU has not sent any new data for a week. He is probably somewhere in Africa, outside GSM coverage. We will probably have to wait until spring for new data.

It is very likely that our Kergu, or rather his transmitter, will send us data again only when he reaches an area with good GSM coverage during his spring migration and at the scheduled data transmission time. If we receive new information, we will inform you immediately.
